        <h1>Editing PGP Keys</h1>
        <p>After keys are created or imported, you can use the PGP Key Edit dialog 
 to digitally sign them, or, if they are already signed, to revoke the 
 signature. You may also revoke the entire key, 
 which will prevent it from being used in the future.&#160;</p>
        <p style="font-weight: bold;">To sign an key:</p>
        <ol style="list-style: decimal;list-style-type: decimal;">
            <li class="p">
                <p>From the main window, select <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools 
 &gt; Options</span>. The Program Options dialog 
 appears.&#160;</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;">PGP &gt; Keys</span>.</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p>Select the key you wish to sign, then click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Edit</span>. 
 The PGP Key Edit dialog appears.&#160;</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sign</span>. 
 The PGP Sign Key dialog appears.&#160;</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p style="font-weight: normal;">Select <span style="font-weight: bold;">Expiration</span>. 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Never</span> ensures 
 the signature will never expire, while <span style="font-weight: bold;">Expires 
 on</span> allows you to specify a date after which the signature will 
 not be honored.&#160;</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p style="font-weight: normal;">If you would like your 
 signature to be attached to the key when it is exported, select <span style="font-weight: bold;">Exportable</span>. To 
 export the key without your signature, clear <span style="font-weight: bold;">Exportable</span>.&#160;</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p style="font-weight: normal;">Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">OK</span>. 
 The Signing Key and Passphrase dialog appears.&#160;</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p style="font-weight: normal;">Select a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Signing 
 Key </span><span>and enter its accompanying &#160;</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Passphrase</span><span>.</span></p>
            </li>
            <li class="p">
                <p style="font-weight: normal;">Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">OK</span>. 
 The key is now signed.&#160;</p>
            </li>
        </ol>
        <p style="font-weight: bold;">To revoke a signature on a previously signed
